Jerry Lorenzo's partnership with adidas, under the Fear of God Athletics umbrella, marks a significant chapter in the fusion of luxury streetwear and athletic performance. The long journey, which began with an announcement three years ago, has now culminated in the release of the first collection, including multiple sneakers and apparel items. The latest addition to this collaboration is the exclusive Triple White colorway of the Fear of God Athletics x adidas Basketball 1.
The Fear of God Athletics x adidas Basketball 1 is a testament to Lorenzo's design philosophy, seamlessly blending functional athleticism with high-end streetwear aesthetics. The sneaker is crafted with an engineered mesh upper, ensuring breathability and comfort. It is further enhanced by a neoprene bootie and no-sew TPU overlays that provide a snug, secure fit. The iconic Three Stripes, inspired by archival adidas Predator branding, are ingeniously integrated into the TPU midfoot, while the Fear of God branding adorns the back heel.
For its lacing system, we see a thick rope lace set and a bungee system. The lace lock is adorned with Lorenzo's distinctive Three Stripes pillar design, adding a personalized touch to the sneaker. Underfoot, the shoe boasts a thick Lightstrike-cushioned sole unit, providing unparalleled comfort and support. This cushioning comes with a tonal rubber outsole that ensures durability and grip, making the sneaker functional on the court and stylish on the streets.
The Fear of God Athletics x adidas Basketball 1 Triple White will release on Christmas Day (December 25, 2023) exclusively via Fear of God online. Pricing is set at $250, and the pair comes in men’s sizing. Stay updated on this release and more by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
